What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical and radiographic results between primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) via mini-subvastus or conventional approach through a prospective randomized controlled study. Methods: Ninety-four patients (104 knees) undergoing primary TKA between January 2011 and April 2012 were evaluated and randomly divided into 2 groups. Forty-six patients (52 knees) underwent TKA via conventional approach (conventional approach group), and 48 patients (52 knees) underwent TKA via mini-subvastus approach (mini-subvastus approach group). In these patients, 45 cases (51 knees) in conventional approach group and 45 cases (49 knees) in mini-subvastus approach group were followed up and recruited in the final analysis. There was no significant difference in age, gender, body mass index, sides, osteoarthritis grading, American Knee Society Score (KSS), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) of knee between 2 groups ( Results: All patients were followed up. The average follow-up time was 66.4 months (range, 60.0-72.5 months) in conventional approach group and 65.6 months (range, 60.0-71.2 months) in mini-subvastus approach group. Compared with the conventional approach group, the incision of mini-subvastus approach group shortened, the operation time prolonged, and the time when patients started straight leg raise exercises was earlier; showing significant differences between 2 groups ( Conclusion: TKA via mini-subvastus approach is helpful to the early function recovery of knee, but the long-term effectiveness is consistent with TKA via conventional approach. As the limited exposure, TKA via mini-subvastus spproach may has high risk of operative complications.
